GOV. EASLEY URGES CITIZENS TO REMEMBER VETERANS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
RALEIGH – Gov. Mike Easley urges North Carolinians to remember our military veterans this holiday season, especially those living in the two State Veterans Nursing Homes. One way to do this is to send cards or monetary donations to benefit residents.
“We are grateful for the dedication and sacrifice of our veterans, especially during the holiday season,” Easley said. “We should do all we can to let them know how much we appreciate their service to the country.”
Citizens, organizations and businesses can send cards and make holiday donations to provide cheer to residents at the state veterans’ nursing homes in Fayetteville and Salisbury. A monetary contribution will be used to give a resident a gift personally selected for them by staff.
Contributions received through the nonprofit Friends of the N.C. State Veterans Homes are tax deductible. Cards and monetary contributions should be addressed to:
Holiday Cheer, c/o James Woodard N.C. Division of Veterans Affairs 1315 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1315
Donations may be accompanied by a signed card or given anonymously. Please make checks payable to: Friends of the N.C. State Veterans Homes.
The Division of Veterans Affairs in the N.C. Department of Administration oversees the 150-bed Fayetteville facility, which opened its doors in 1999, and the 99-bed Salisbury facility, which admitted its first residents in 2004. Wartime veterans receive priority in admission.
